The Best Small Farm

Chapter 33 The Vegetable Garden and the Turkey

After half an hour, the open space in the woods was reclaimed, and the soil fertility looked pretty good. It was no problem to grow some vegetables.

"Little man, how is the soil turning?" brother-in-law Zhou Bin asked after jumping off the tractor.

"Not bad, brother-in-law, how does it feel to drive this big guy?" Li Han said with a smile.

"It's okay, this big guy is very easy to use." The brother-in-law patted the tractor wheel and said. "Little Han, do you grow vegetables in such a large area?"

"It's not necessary, let's draw a circle and make a small vegetable garden to grow enough to eat." Li Han drove the tractor back to the garage, hung up the carriage and took his brother-in-law Zhou Bin to the storage room to transport some wooden boards and took the saw , hammer, nails and shovel, when I drove the tractor back to the woods, I happened to meet Dudu and Baobao chasing Millie to play. "Uncle, the baby is in the car." "Yeah, Dad, Dudu is also in the car." Two little guys, Li Han stopped the tractor, and each carried a little guy on the car.

"Sit down, let's go." With the sound of the motor, the tractor carried two adults, two children and four people and a lot of tools to the forest field. The tools, planks, and stakes were carried down, but it was the turn of the two little guys. I was worried, the baby was unwilling to come down, and had to drive. Dudu followed suit, which made Li Han quite a headache.

"Baby, be good, come down and help daddy get the wooden plank." The brother-in-law really has a way, when the baby heard that he can help daddy with something, he obediently jumped off the tractor, and Dudu said with his little hand raised. "Duddu also helps Dad to carry the wooden board."

The two little guys can pull the wooden board vigorously. How can they help? They are completely troublemakers. Dudu is pulling the longest wooden board. Brother-in-law Zhou Bin also lamented that children in the United States are different when they grow up. It's broken, the little mouth is pouted on Lao Gao, and the little buttocks are pouted to pull the wooden plank as big as Dudu every time, and the little face is flushed with tiredness. "This child is quite strong." Brother-in-law Zhou Bin said with a smile as he took the daughter and pulled the board.

"Dudu, that's enough for Dad. Dudu and sister catch earthworms and go back to feed the chickens." Li Han and his brother-in-law pulled the rope to draw out an area of ​​an acre, and the four corners were hammered with small wooden stakes. The rope was tightened and started. Busy sawing boards and making fences.

The two adults were busy, sawing the board into small pieces, and the two little people were playing in the field, looking for snails and earthworms, and went back to feed the chickens. Dudu asked Li Han for two small bottles. The two little guys squatted on the ground, pouted their little buttocks, looking for earthworms and snails and stuffed them into the small bottles. It was lively, every time they found a small earthworm, Dudu was happy. Giggling, the baby started screaming in fright at the sight of the wriggling earthworms, and dared not touch them, but after a while the baby joined in the struggle to snatch the earthworms, no matter how sticky and dirty the little hands were, they squeezed the earthworms into the vial inside.

"Dad, look, look, look, the baby caught a big earthworm." The baby proudly held up the big and thin earthworm with his finger and shouted to his father who was busy sawing the plank. "It's really not small, little man, no wonder the soil is so crisp and loose, so there are a lot of earthworms."

"Maybe this place used to dry cow dung. It's so beautiful, but it's delicious." Li Han put the sawn boards together, stood up, and walked to Dudu and Baobao. The two little guys had small faces. , with dirty hands, muddy riding boots, and a smiling face like a kitten, dangling the small bottle in his hand. "There are quite a lot of earthworms here." The bottle was almost full, and fat earthworms were wriggling, sticking out their mucus.

"Don't talk about being beautiful, many people in China are clamoring that earthworms are high in protein, and the price is not cheap by grinding earthworm powder." The brother-in-law put the boards away, put the saw aside, and supported Li Han's stake, and Li Han beat it down with a hammer. in the field.

"This man lives better,

I always like to think about strange things. "Li Han picked up the sledgehammer and hammered a wooden stake three times. The brother-in-law took one, one after another. The two little guys, Dudu and Baobao, caught a bottle full of earthworms and started to catch small snails. There are more snails in the grass, and the two little guys ran into the grass to catch snails. "Don't go too far, grandma will come to call us for dinner later. "Li Han put down the hammer and rested for a while.

"Is there any danger in the little man's grass?" The brother-in-law asked a little worried, holding the stake with one hand. "It's okay, the farm here has been around for a long time, and there is still a long distance from the mountains. Usually, you can see some white deer, rabbits, and turkeys in the pasture. Big beasts rarely appear around the farm house."

The brother-in-law was relieved, and the two of them worked together to lay more than a dozen wooden stakes in a while. It was getting late, and Li Han planned to clean up, go back to eat, and come back to work on the small vegetable garden in the afternoon. "These two little things, I forgot the time playing."

Li Han and his brother-in-law walked along the grove for four or five minutes, and saw Dudu and Baobao squatting in the grass, muttering about eating chicken. "Doo, baby, stop playing and go back to eat." "Dad, look, the chicken is so pitiful."

Dudu and the baby surrounded the bird's nest, the bird's nest had two meat balls, with a big mouth open, brother-in-law Zhou Bin frowned when he saw it, what an ugly bird.

"This is a turkey. Maybe we disturbed the mother turkey by clearing the land."

"Uncle, can baby raise chickens?" Bao Bao and Dudu still held the earthworm bottle in their hands. "Of course, but you have to take good care of them, like your mother, can you do it?" Li Han asked.

"Well, Dudu catches a lot of earthworms to feed the chickens." Dudu immediately puffed up his small chest and said, and the baby also promised to catch a lot of earthworms to feed the chickens, take good care of the chickens, and play with them. "Okay then, let's take the chick home, Dudu, baby, take care of the chick yourself on the way."

"Little Han, let me figure it out." The brother-in-law looked at Baobao and Dudu. How could the two little guys take care of the chick? They couldn't take care of themselves.

"It's okay brother-in-law, the child likes it, besides, Dudu and the baby are not young, so learn how to take care of small animals."

Li Han, Zhou Bin, Dudu and Baobao walked back, Dudu and Baobao were holding a small turkey, carefully, afraid of disturbing the little guy in their hands. Back at the small building, my mother had already prepared lunch and was waiting. Li Han called Dinah and Hughton to introduce her to each other. "Hughton, my mom and dad don't understand English very well." "It's okay, Han, thank you very much, Madam invited us to the family dinner."

"Hehe, it's just a homely meal. There's nothing delicious. Let's try to see if it suits your taste." Li Han went back to the translator in front of the translator. He had a meal at noon, and Li Han's belly was round, not to mention Hughton and Dinah, Li Han's father The craftsmanship is handed down from grandpa, sweet and sour fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, deep-fried lamb chops, beef stew, all kinds of side dishes, the taste is amazing, and a pot of medicinal soup, Hughton and Dinah said to drink this soup Invigorating qi and maintaining health can also prevent diseases. I am very surprised, let alone drink an extra bowl.

"Speaking of this soup, it's really troublesome. It took a lot of work to bring the medicinal materials, and it was almost not allowed to be brought." Li Heping said while pretending to be soup.

"Dad, cut it into slices and pack it well, and you need to have an invoice to prove it. There are too many customs rules in this old America." Li Han didn't say, what do Americans know about Chinese medicine, pseudoscience, and plants? Carrying it, Li Han has a plan in mind. Herbal medicine may also be grown in the space. Next time I go back to get some seeds and put them in the space. The medicinal recipes passed down by my grandfather are good for myself.

At the end of lunch, Hughton and Dinah thanked Li Han for inviting them over, and after saying a few words, they left. Li Han took a few steps and went back to the house. Dudu and Baobao were helping grandma clean up the dishes. The two little guys , What do you think about Bibi.

"Xiaohan, I don't think Americans are very open?" Mom Zhang Xiuying said. "Hehe, mom, many of the United States are quite quiet, especially Montana is relatively conservative." Seeing that his sister was looking for a small turkey in a cardboard box, Li Han walked over.

"Sister, I'll nail a wooden box and put some hay in later. These two little turkeys are very pitiful." Li Han said seeing the two barking little guys.
